The County of Orange has begun implementing a COVID-19 testing network, with locations offering FDA-authorized testing to Orange County residents who have symptoms of COVID-19.

According to the County, there is no out-of-pocket cost for this testing, however insurance may be billed. Those interested are asked to contact their medical provider first and only access these services if they do not have a provider or your provider is unable to provide testing.

Those seeking MUST make an appointment for testing with one of the clinics below to assure eligibility and availability of testing.

The test identifies if someone is currently infected based upon a sample taken with a swab. It is not a blood test, nor does it test for antibodies. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough and shortness of breath. Other symptoms sometimes include: fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell. Patients will receive a medical assessment before being tested and they will only be tested if they have symptoms of the disease.

Because of continued challenges of obtaining testing supplies and Personal Protective

Equipment (PPE) for health care providers conducting tests, testing may be restricted at times to high priority groups, as defined by the California Department of Public Health or Orange County Public Health.
